Two Books I've Written (May 7, 2019)These two books are available at Amazon in both Kindle and softcover editions. Enclosed here are post-publication drafts. Soviet Science Spies is about a nuclear physicist caught up in conflicts with the Soviet Union in the 1960s, and the science background story is factual. Russian Science Spies is about the same thing but occuirs in the present day, and the "science" is based on gross extrapolations of fact. While the first book has erotic scenes, the second book has sexually explicit passages. |

Why Oh Why Did Hillary Lose The Election (December 13, 2017)The Democrats and the mainstream media are still blaming Russian collusion with Trump for Hillary’s loss. Special Prosecutor Mueller and his friends in the FBI are fishing like mad to find anything that might, to whatever degree, agree with that charge.
With all that publicity, many people now can’t see why Hillary lost either. This Album contains a few speculations. |

Tax Hikes on the Poor and Elderly (September 25, 2012)Have you heard the Obama campaign's claim, continually repeated in the liberal media, that Romney wants to raise taxes on the poor and middle classes but not on the rich? In fact, it's Obama's plan to raise taxes on the lower income classes. Romney just wants to leave things alone until a fairer plan can be crafted and passed by Congress.
This is covered here in some emails (in reverse chronological order). |

Science and Ultimate Reality DVD-Windows The purpose of this meeting was to honor of John Wheeler's 90th birthday and his many contributions to quantum mechanics, cosmology, and information science by promoting a freewheeling debate on these topics vis-à-vis the reality we perceive. The Q/A sessions are particularly fascinating.
TO VIEW: Open this Album and click on the arrow “Click Here To Start”, and you’re offered a new menu (note: this new window may appear behind the first one; click the top of the first window to see it). On this page the first menu displayed corresponds to the top tab on the left, “Intro and Keynote Talk”. Starting with this page, e.g. viewing the Tribute to John A Wheeler, the Intro by Freeman Dyson, the Keynote by Zeilinger, and the comments of Panelists, you can then access the other tabs on the left of the page. In each tabbed section, the Q/A occurs in the comments of Panelists. After viewing individual talks or sessions, click on the upper left of the screen to return to the main menu.
NOTE: So far I've only been able to make this work on PC’s, not Mac's. Also, in the Keynote by Zeilinger, and possibly some of the talks, the window on the right doesn't fill.

How the Universe Can and Might Be (May 6, 2007)This is my review of an important new book, “Cosmic Jackpot: Why Our Universe Is Just Right for Life” by Paul Davies (2007). Davies critically examines different hypotheses about single and multiple universes - from both scientific and philosophical viewpoints. Two MS Word files are included: (1) a copy of my review for Amazon.com and (2) a rebuttal to my review and my reply to same, also posted on Amazon.com, plus some related emails. |

Science & Religion - A New Twist (April 10, 2007)The idea of multiple universes (or a multiverse) has become the most popular escape hatch for scientists and philosophers who wish to assert that there is no purpose to human life, that humans are just a random byproduct of the laws of nature.
An eminent physicist, Paul Davies, has just published a new argument about the fallaciousness of that position which, I think, is important to share. |

Songs Cited Above in My Latest Escapades (Nov, 2006)Three recordings per above Album with yrs truly on bass (first screen) then some additions.
Click on the LINKS, not the black screens.
You might have to download QuickTime for some (free).
Adddition 1: One more by ear
Addition 2: 4 Golden Oldies with me on bass added Sept 2008 (third screeen). I’ve dusted off my electric bass in the past two weeks and have always liked these old ones enough to record them today, again substituting the original bass lines with my own.
Addition 3: "Are You Lonesome Tonight" added May 2009 (fourth screen). I recorded this one which has me singing (and talking) as well as playing bass.
Addition 4: "You'll Never Walk Alone" added May 2009 (fifth screen). This is just a sing-along, no vocal reverb as in "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and no bass added. |
